"Shayla Wickensbiegh" Called the lady. My heart lept as the lady on the stage read my name.No no no no no! I couldn't go! You see, these were the days of the Death Games. At the Death Games, well, I think the name of the Games is pretty self-explanatory. At the Games, you have to kill your opponents to win. And I, quite frankly, was probably about to loose. And loosing, meant dying. I didn't want to die, But I had to go, or the President would kill me right in front of my whole village. My family would be humiliated.
It was all I could do to not burst into tears.
